The Liabilities Estimated at 3 400. 900 anc
tho Assets at the same

The Liabilities Estimated at S200. 900 and
tho Assets at the Same.
New York, Nov. l4.-A. s. Hatch & Co.,
bankers and brokers at Z Nassau-st., as
signed today to II. III. Chittenden. The
amount Of the liabilities and assets could
not be stated today but are thought to be
about $500, 900 each, and A. s. Hatch says
he expects the firm to pay in full. The
house has been on the bear side of the
market and the present rise in certain stocks
caused its embarrassment. The failure is
not an important one. The firm did COM
pa-stively little business. though its prede-
cessor, Fisk & Hatch, was one of the largest
houses in the city. A. 5. Hatch, who was
the junior partner of Fisk Hatch, came
out of the failure at the time of the Grant &
Ward panic OF 1884, with but limited means
at his disposal. he Is well known phil
anthropist, and very popular among his
fellow brokers. The firm had few depositors
and Whatever losses there may be will fall
on customers. No other failures are feared,
despite some rumors that large bear opera
tors were in trouble.

BY the force of a thought we did not checlzi
Little by little we mold the clay,

That held the blessings we long had sought,
The sudden loss Of wealth or power
And lo the dayiswith i'll inwrought.
How(fasy It Is TO spoil life
And many are spoiled ere well begun
In some life darkened by sin and strife,
Or downward course Of cherished one;
Bytgtytha robs the form OF it's grace,
And undermines till health gives way;
Byyhe peevish temper, the frowning face,

Some good should come as the hours go by
Some tangled maze may be more plain,
Some lowered glance may be raised on high;
And life is too short to spoil like this.

Let us bind together its thread Of bliss
And nourish the flowers around our feet
